Multicolor Imaging for the Detection of Inner Nuclear Layer Microcysts Secondary to Optic Nerve Atrophy
2020
ABSTRACT Inner nuclear layer (INL) microcysts have been reported in diseases affecting the optic nerve. The new ocular imaging techniques detect minimal structural alterations at the macula and correlate these findings to different etiologies with less invasive procedures. The relationship between ganglion cells distribution at the macula and chiasmal nerve fibers enables the diagnosis and location of neurological lesions by new generation optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging devices. We report the evaluation of a patient with a history of optic nerve trauma and macular INL microcysts with multicolor SD-OCT technology that shows a pattern that localizes the lesion to the left optic nerve and proximal segment of the chiasm.
